Today’s episode is extra special.  On the Purpose and Profit podcast, I interview business leaders that are innovating new approaches to business. These changemakers are marching to the beat of their own drum, paving new paths that others will follow. To be a changemaker requires having the courage to do things differently. Yesterday, my husband Ozan Varol released a new book called Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary. This is a practical guidebook for impractical people. People that are determined to carve new paths as leaders and creators. In hindsight, we call these people geniuses, as if they’re another breed. But genius isn’t for a special few. It can be cultivated. This book shows you how.   In this episode, I share the introduction of Awaken Your Genius, to inspire you on your changemaker path.  Some of the insights Awaken Your Genius shares are: ●      The secret to stop overthinking and start doing ●      A completely counterintuitive practice that the best thinkers use to generate original ideas ●      The one question you can ask to identify hidden time-sucks that clutter your brain and create overwhelm ●      Why you’ll never feel “on top of everything” (and what to do about it) References: Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary by Ozan Varol Visit Ozan’s website here  Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
